How to Split a Large PDF into Smaller Files
Divide massive PDFs into manageable sections. Extract specific pages, split by chapter, or separate sections for different recipients.
// Common reasons to split a PDF
Sending only relevant pages to a colleague. Extracting a single chapter from a textbook. Separating a multi-section report for different departments. Meeting a file size limit for uploads.
// How to split using page ranges
Open PDFBaba's Split PDF tool. Upload your file. Enter the page range you want to extract (e.g., '1-5' for pages 1-5, '1-3,7,10-15' for non-consecutive pages). Click Split and download the extracted pages as a new PDF.
// Tips for complex splits
For multiple extractions, run the tool once for each section you need. Each run produces a separate PDF. You can preview pages first using the Edit PDF tool if you're unsure about page numbers.
